INSIDE TOP 40 WITH DAVE SHOLIN Any meeting of industry leaders is only as good as the partici- pants. Our first Annual Gavin Seminar was a huge success, due in great measure to the input from all the programmers and record executives who attended. My sincere thanks to those who offered their assistance during an exciting and hectic two days. Special thanks to Mike Schaefer of KIIS /FM and Guy Zapoleon, KZZP- Phoenix, for helping make our Top 40 format breakfast meeting a no -holds barred session of sharing ideas about the fine points of what makes a winner in '86. B -94's Nick Bazoo, FM102's Chris Collins, KSYZ's Chip Mosley, Columbia's John Fagot, Capitol's Walter Lee and so many others covered topics from how to reflect a market's musical taste, to

effective promotions, manipulating trades and how to get record companies to use radio adver- tising to sell their product. Again my congratulations to all who entered and played in our Superbowl Of Rock Trivia contest. I want to add, it would not have been possible without the support of Arthur Promoff and Geffen Records, and the hard work of CBS's Burt Baumgartner, who researched hundreds of questions, and Christine Burnett, who took on the painstaking job of writing and organizing them. Here's early notice that we plan to do it all again next year. That's plenty of time to study up.

Checking the hop music items this week, INXS converts last week's 34% Hit Factor to a whopping 59% and key moves in

Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Boston, etc. SLY FOX now has over 200 reports with top ten action at WBEN, WJZR, 106X, WVIC, B -97, KUBE, KMEL, FM102, KIYS, KWES, etc. FORCE MD's and ROBERT PALMER passing by the competition with exceptional gains. OUTFIELD is anything but left field now...coming on fast with debuts of #28 at WXKS, #26 Q105, #28 KIXS, #19 KYMO, #29 WBNQ, etc. PET SHOP BOYS explodes in airplay, 97 adds, including WZON, PRO /FM, WJLK, B -94, WZOK, WBAM, WCIL, KZZU, KHTY, KIIS /FM, KKHR, KWNZ, KDON, KIMN, etc.

West Coast Top 40's charting the Record To Watch by CHERRELLE and ALEXANDER O'NEAL. Currently #11 FM102, 23 -16 at KSTN, 13 -8 KMEL. Dave

February 28, 1986/the GAVIN REPORT 10



It wasn't until the band took production matters into their own hands that Mr. Mister soared to the top of the GAVIN Top Forty charts. We talked to Richard Page about the fine art of Mr. Mistering.

KZ: You had a band called Pages. Tell us about the transition from Pages to Mr. Mister. RP: Steve (George) and I decided it was time to dissolve the whole thing. We felt like wed exhausted the possibilities. We took a year or two off, wrote, put this band together, got a deal and this is our second album. KZ: Steve George is a surviving core member of Pages who made it to Mr. Mister. That's a strange name for a band. RP: It was something we liked. We wanted it to be Mister something, so the ultimate Mister would be Mr. Mister. It stuck with us. KZ: You turned down some heavy lead vocalist jobs to keep at Mr. Mister. RP: Yes. Toto and Chicago. Chicago called last summer, 1985. Peter Cetera had left the band. Their record company called and asked if I was interested. I knew them. I'd worked with Bill Champlin for years. He's one of my good friends. KZ: You must feel good about your decision to stick with Mr. Mister. RP: Yes I do. At the time, when I had decided not to join Chicago, the (Mr. Mister) record wasn't doing well. It hadn't taken off yet. KZ: All this happened after the second Mr. Mister LP was released. RP: This was right as the second album was being released and the single was out, and it was just laying there. KZ: What's it like being a session singer? Did you carry a beeper? RP: (Laughs) I was sidetracked into being a session player. My goal was always my own art. Working with guys like David Foster and Jay Graydon, I started getting these calls. Jay Graydon produced one of the Pages albums. He liked the way Steve and I did backgrounds (vocals), he was calling us for other gigs. It caught on like that. KZ: Were there sessions where you felt like a real contributor rather than a

sideman? RP: A lot of them. A lot of people called us because they liked our arrangement ideas. Kenny Loggins, his last three albums, were great sessions. I wrote a tune with Kenny on one of them. That was a memorable one. All the Al Jarreau stuff was great. I worked with

Quincy Jones on a Donna Summer album that I wrote a tune on. There were a lot of great sessions, working with the best people. I learned so much from them, I was able to bring that experience into Mr. Mister. KZ: You worked with producer Peter Mclan (Men At Work) on the first album. RP: It was a good introduction for the guys in the band, as far as getting to know each

other musically. When Steve and I got Steve Farris and Pat Mastelotto, we didn't really know each other. Now we were in a band with a full membership type of thing, which was different We'd always hired outside guys to play on the Pages albums. The thing was, I feel we learned a little late. It's all hindsight now, but we should have been producing from the beginning. At the time

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS

For you students of the game, you know that HEAVY ROTATION is the key. Well HEART picked up 29 HEAVIES this week to eclipse STARSHIP and HEART should be #1 next week.

SMOKEY ROBINSON now shows an 85% HIT FACTOR (up from 66% last week) and a 27 -17 -12 run in two weeks. Label -mate STEVIE WONDER doubles his HIT FACTOR, 34 % -68% and flashes 37 new adds. FORCE M.D.'S has a similar HIT FACTOR and an impressive 28 -21 chart move. Credit Michael Reading at KWAV/ FM-Monterey for hearing it first.

This week's RECORD TO WATCH, THE BANGLES' MANIC MONDAY has been building slowly, but surely with A /C's. Sixteen adds this week including: WNLC,WJZM,KSKI, KPTL and KIT.

The first Gavin Seminar For Media Professionals is history. By all opinion it was worthwhile and fun.

Congratulations to Ric Lippincott of KYUU for his award as Program Director Of The Year in A/C and to Ron Chapman and KVIL -Dallas for Air Talent and Station Of The Year in our format. Sheila Chlanda of Columbia Records won the A/C Promotion Award and Liz Kiley of KOST -Los Angeles won Music Director Of The Year. There was plenty of competition for these awards and we want to congratulate not only the winners but all the fine nominees as well.

Next year's Seminar is already being planned. Stay tuned for the date TBA.

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

MIAMI SOUND MACHINE - "Bad Boy" (Epic) What a GREAT record! Light, bright and tight. Imagine, if you will, Manhattan Transfer with a

Motown bass line. Take this one to the bank.

DENNIS DeYOUNG - "Call Me" (A &M) Could be sub -titled "BABE '86 ". The track is one of those tender ballads with a sweet sax solo.

OMD - "If You Leave" (Virgin /A &M) These English architects of pop modernism have created a main- stream foundation with their recent singles. To their credit, even A/C has benefitted from their creativity. Debuts on page 14 in the NEW section.

Ron

Research: Diane Ron Fell FACTOR

Hit Factor is a percentage of stations which have it in Heavy or Medium rotation. ie: 100 stations playing the record -60 stations have it in Heavy or Medium rotation -Hit Factor = 60%

ANNE MURRAY: The Gavin Interview

by Ron Fell & Diane Rufer 19 the GAVIN REPORT /February 28, 1986



R aised in Springhill, Nova Scotia, Anne turned an audition on a Canadian TV Show into a sixteen year recording career which has seen her

winning awards from the Canadian Juno's to American Grammys.

Hot on the heels of her first pop hit in recent years, "Now And Forever (You and Me) ", she talked to The Gavin Report from her home in Canada.

RF: As a child growing up at the Martimes, you apparently didn't have intentions of becoming a singer by profession. AM: I really didn't think about it. I don't think you do, being that far removed from show business. I took piano lessons and singing lessons. When I got older, about fifteen, I started the singing lessons just to see what I could do. I don't think I ever really thought I wanted to learn something and I don't think I ever thought of doing it for a living. RF: What was your first career goal? AM: I wanted to go to Physical Education School. I ended up getting a degree in Physical Education and teaching school. RF: When did you decide to hang up your sweat socks and become a singer? AM: It didn't take very long, I taught for one year. The summer I graduated, auditioned for a television show in Halifax. It was a summer replacement show that went across the country and, because it was run by the CBC, it had public auditions. I auditioned and got on the show. The reaction to the show was so good that I kept getting offers to go here and there. I had to make a decision as to what I was going to do. I was offered another television show for the year and little bits and pieces here and there, so I

decided to give it a shot RF: At that point you were actually hooking up with Brian Ahern. AM: Brian was in Toronto when I was teaching on Prince Edward Island. He was writing me Special Delivery letters telling me to quit my teaching and come to Toronto and record. At the time I didn't realize he was starving. He didn't have anything and I didn't find out until I came up to do the first album. Before I went to the studio I had to get two guitars out of hock in order to get into the studio to record. RF: A lot of people think that "Snowbird" was your first album and it probably was the case down here in the States, but you actually had an album called "What About Me" earlier than that didn't you? AM: That's right. That album was in '68. It

was for a small Canadian company. It was just to get something down on tape so that people would hear me and possibly be interested. After that was around for awhile I took it to other record companies just

to see if I could get some kind of deal with a

larger company. RF: Wasn't there a JoniMitchellsongon that first album? AM: Yes, "Both Sides Now." RF: Was that one of the first versions? AM: That's right. I don't know where I got that. RF: I would imagine that you and Joni were about at the same stage of your careers at that point. She was hardly a household name in '68 or '69. AM: Right. RF: The song that really put you on the map was a song that you've now been performing for about sixteen years,. "Snowbird." How did that come about? AM: We did a summer replacement show as I mentioned. Well, the man who is now my husband produced and directed that show and he called me. He had a guest on a show, Gene MacLellan, and he called me one day and said you've got to come over and hear this guy sing and listen to these songs. So I went over and there was Gene singing all these tunes. I

couldn't believe it and I said "Could you sell those to me ?" He said, "Well, sire." He just handed them to me. I called Brian and got him to listen and we got real excited. RF: I would imagine after sixteen years you gotta be a little sick of singing that song. AM: Well, it goes by pretty quickly. It's only two minutes. RF: That was one of the things I know that programmers are always looking for, records under three minutes. AM: "Snowbird" was two minutes and seven seconds. RF: A good tempo, certainly a safe song, a positive song. AM: It actually wasn't the "A" side. It was the "B" side of a song called "Just Bidding My Time" which was Gene's as well. RF: How did the flip come about? AM: I was signed to Capitol Canada. The people from the United States came up. They thought they would release it in the United States and they asked me what I

thought and I thought "Just Bidding My Time." I liked them both, but "Just Bidding MyTime" I liked better, so they decided to release itbutsomewhere they decided to turn it over. Maybe it was Cleveland.

RF: After "Snowbird," your television exposure started to explode. You had hooked up by that time with Glen Campbell. You were almost a regular on the show. AM: I was like a semi -regular. I was on once a month. I was traveling between Halifax and Los Angeles. Took me all day to get there. No direct flights. I would go down and stay for as long as I had to be there and then get back because I was on an exclusive contract with the CBC to do all these television shows. It was just ridiculous. I was showing up everyhwere, but they made an exception with the Glen Campbell show because I told them they would be impeding my progress, my career. They went along with it and allowed me to do it RF: What's this about you opening for Bruce Springsteen back in 1974? AM: Actually no, he opened for me. RF; Give us the details on that one. - AM: I don't remember that much. You know when something really horrifying and awful happens you want to put it out

"I've had this album in me for five years."

=ebruam 28, 1986 /the GAVIN REPORT 20



of your mind. All I remember is coming on stage and whatever people left over of his fans were really rude to me. It was not a pleasant experience. RF: Would you like to have had that experience during the '84/'85 world tour of Springsteen's or would you still consider your audience as diametrically different? AM: Well, I'm not sure that they are diametrically different. There are Bruce Springsteen fans who might like me too. At least people who are broad -minded. But I would never consider going on a bill with him. I didn't consider it then, but I

didn't know who he was. RF: I don't think many people did back in '74. AM: But he had a real strong cult following at the time and we got along real good. RF: Prince opened for the Rolling Stones in '84 in Los Angeles and got booed off the stage. There are some miss -matches in entertainment. AM: They threw us together, I don't even remember who did it. It was in New York's Central Park. RF: Being a proud Canadian, you obviously benefited from some of the Canadian content regulations that existed in Canada. It's almost mandatory I guess, if you're a Canadian radio station and Anne Murray releases even an average Anne Murray song that you pretty much lock up the whole country. Elton John once said there are two things he knows about Canada, "Hockey and Anne Murray." Has it hurt you at any point being so closely identified with Canada or do you think you're able to separate the two? AM: I don't think so. No negatives as far as I can see. I still think I sell more per capita records in Canada than any other place in the World. I don't think that people come to see me because I'm Canadian or non -Canadian. They are looking for music. RF: The Toronto Sun said a few years ago that since you had won so many of the Juno awards, (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy), that they ought to change the name of the award to the Annies. Someone said that you had once been asked to exempt yourself from the awards. To voluntarily exempt yourself from the awards so someone else could win. AM: I never did that at all. There was a whole lot of controversy a couple years ago because Bruce Allen, who handles Bryan Adams and Loverboy, publicly slammed me for not showing up at the Juno Awards and he did it at enough places where I just had to retaliate. I came back and said, "Look, why should I show up on an embarrassing, horrible television show ?" It's beneath me to do a television show like that at this point in time in my career and I just really hammered them all. RF: For those of us who haven't seen the television presentation of the Juno

Awards, how would they vary from the televised Grammy awards? AM: The Grammys are being done by people who know how to do live television and have been doing it for years. Well organized and together. The Junos were just horrible television. Just badly done. The straw that broke the camel's back was, I was watching it and they were doing a tribute to Glenn Gould who had died that year. The Governor General of the country was doing a tribute and people were laughing, talking and not even listening to him. They had dinner and drinks and then they would put the show on. Well, that's crazy. You can't do that. Everybody was pissed and wouldn't pay attention to anybody on the stage. I

"Why should I

show up on an embarrassing, horrible television

shove"

got so embarrassed that I had to turn down the sound. I watched it a couple of years and said that's it, I'm not going to go on a show like that But since all that noise, they have improved it immensely and it's great. RF: So you would not be in a boycotting mood anymore as far as the Juno's were concerned. AM: Certainly not so much. RF: Many people have expressed their pleasure at the change in direction on the new album. What were your intentions with this album and how did those intentions vary with product that you've presented to us over the last four or five years? AM: I've had this album in me for five years. Jim Ed Norman's last two albums with me were going in that direction of more progressive, more contemporary, and synthesized. We'd been talking with Capitol, they'd just been champing at the

bit to do it. Finally I just said, "That's it.

Let's go find some people who can help me out. We talked to all kinds of producers. Some of them were really reticent to make any kind of a move at all because they know my track record. But Jack White walked in and said "This is great" He really didn't know anything about my music. He had been in Germany. He had heard "You Needed Me" and "Snowbird," that's it. So Don Grierson from Capitol gave him a whole bunch of albums to listen to. He listened to them all and Jack came and said "Somebody told me you're a Country singer. You can sing anything." I said, "Thank you. I'm glad you can realize that" As a matter of fact, all those producers knew that too. Jack said, "Oh boy, what we can do." He sent me about thirty songs and we were back and forth on the phone. He came to see me at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles and he got even more excited at seeing the live show, the possibilities, because there is a difference when you sing live. There is more of an edge. You even take tunes up a tone just to give it an edge for the stage. RF: Certainly that other singer that he's associated with can be credited with having quite an edge in her voice, Laura Branigan. AM: Jack said, "This is the voice I've been looking for all my life." When somebody is that enthusiastic ... the whole album started off on such a great note. Everybody was up and enthusiastic. David Foster was a little bit hesitant because he had heard "That's Not The Way It Was Supposed To Be." It was a very contemporary record of mine that no one ever heard, but it was released as a

single. He pulled me over to the side and said, "That's a great record. If they wouldn't play that, maybe they wouldn't play something I did for you." I said, "Write me a hit. They'll play it." But he was very concerned because David doesn't want to be associated with a failure. RF: He doesn't have time. He's on a roll right now. AM: I said, "That's the chance you take." But I said, "If you write me a hit, then we are home free." Keith Diamond and everybody were very positive. It was fun to do. It just took a while to put together. As I

said, we had been talking about this for a long time. Don Grierson is terrific because he's gotten involved with his acts. Heart, he brought them home. RF: He brought them back from the dead. AM: He has worked with me hand in hand and has been real instrumental in

putting this whole thing together. RF: Your first involvement with David Foster was when he was producing the "Tears Are Not Enough" Northern Lights single. AM: We had talked before that about doing something, but he came to a concert in Vancouver where we had a

little chat. The first time I had really

11 ¡he GAVIN REPORT, February 28, 1986



worked with him was on "Tears Are Not Enough." RF: Who played what roles in the writing of the hit single "Now And Forever ?" AM: David Foster and Jim Valance wrote the music. David brought that song to me. He didn't even have words for it We had studio time booked and everything. We went into the studio and he said, "You know, you might not even like this song." He sat there and sang it to me with da- das. I just loved the music, so we asked a few people to do lyrics, nothing was right. Then I thought, "Let's ask Randy Goodrum." So we called Randy and he said, "Great." RF: Was I right in guessing that the tracks may have been inspired from David's "St. Elmo's" project? AM: It was probably done at the same time. Because he put that track down in June. He did it all himself. There are only two guitars that are not him, but the rest is all him. RF: Randy, of course, was responsible for your other monster hit, "You Needed Me." What other songs of his were hits? AM: He wrote "Broken Hearted Me." RF: Two other things that happened to you in 1985 that I assume were pretty significant to you. One of which, you signed a new long -term arrangement with Capitol. How long does it extend?

AM: Five years. This is my seventeenth year with them. RF: You, like I, are not ashamed at having turned forty. AM: No, it's great. RF: What do you see in the future? This album is going to give you a tremendous amount of airplay over the next six to nine months. Will you continue to tour? Is there any television future? AM: I will be continuing to tour like I do, up to eleven or twelve days at a time, maybe seven or eight times a year. What I

think we would like to do this year and next is get to Europe and crack that market because we never have. With Jack White's influence, we can do that. RF: Have you ever thought of singing in a foreign language? AM: I did once, in Spanish. I did "You Needed Me" and "Broken Hearted Me." Such hard work. It turns out they didn't know what they were doing and it was all wrong. RF: As a fan of yours, I noted that your two attempts at duets have been successful. Both with Glen Campbell and Dave Loggins. Do you have any desire to do duets with any other performer? And if

so, who would they be? AM: My favorite voice is Dave Loggins' -I love it. It's so wonderful. I like Lionel Richié s a lot. I don't have any burning

desire to do duets. RF: Are you able to divorce yourself from the business side and still have a family life? AM: Oh yes, I do. My kids are in school now so I have a little more free time. I'm able to do that. I come home and pretty much leave the business on the doorstep. RF: What do your kids think of the new album? AM: Oh, they love it. As a matter of fact, they have never been interested in an album before. With this one, they just love it The first day it came out, they made me find them two Walkmans so they each could take their tapes to school. Then the next day they had to take them to their teachers. They were real excited about it. I knew I had something.

4tR 41/ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

the record company says, "You need this guy because he's had hits." You have to go along with that KZ: But something clicked in between the two albums. RP: What clicked was that we went back and said we're not working with anybody else (laughs). We want to do it ourselves! What really happened was that they gave us some money to make some masters. RCA judged those and gave us the okay. Those three songs that we did in the beginning ended up on the Welcome To

The World LP just the way they were. KZ: Which songs were they? RP: "Broken Wings," "Black /White," and "Is It Love" KZ: Who selects the singles? Are you involved as a band in the decision making? RP: Very much so. We had a three hour meeting with the head of RCA Records and our A &R guy, Paul Atkinson, the guy that signed us, and another top brass guy, plus our manager. We hashed it out as far as our opinions and what was to be the first single -the most crucial decision you can make. We all agreed on "Broken Wings." It

was after we'd gone through thinking it would fit this radio format and demographically it would hit these people. KZ: You sound in tune with the business. RP: Pretty much. It's interesting. I think what it boils down to is whether it's going to

relate on an emotional level to the people. That transcends all the academia. KZ: Most of the songs seem to be collaborations with all four members. RP: Some of the tunes were written in a rehearsal environment. Steve Farris had an idea with a guitar thing and we all contributed. Gradually they were built that way. Some of the other tunes were written at my house. I brought John Lang, who isn't a member of the band, but has been a writing partner of mine. He's responsible for most of the lyrics. "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie" were songs that were written out at my house in about a half hour each -one of those rare moments when the song just spills out. Some songs are emotional rushes. That's what "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie" were. KZ: Who in Mr. Mister worked on the last Pointer Sisters album? RP: Steve George, John Lang, and myself, and also Pat. We co- produced those songs and wrote them especially for The Pointer Sisters. We did the tracks. They came in and sang them. Richard Perry took care of all that. KZ: What's the lyric of "Kyrie" mean? RP: Kyrie means "lord have mercy on us." It comes out of the Catholic mass, originally Greek. It's a phrase that's thousands of years old. It's sanskrit. My father's a choir director, my mother was the organist. I sang

every Sunday. It's something that meant a

lot to me, a positive prayer. We put it into this tune and it worked. KZ: Your prayers were answered. RP: (Laughs) Yes. A lot of people are responding to it, which is important, even if they don't know what it means. It has some sort of intangible quality to it that people relate to. We went Top Ten in six countries. KZ: Miles Davis cut your tune, "Broken Wings," early in the game. RP: He cut it, but I don't think it's gonna be on the album. I talked to him the other day. He was saying, he felt just because it was such a big hit, people would think he's jumping on a bandwagon. He was hip to the song way before it was a hit. I ran into him at a rehearsal studio in the summer. He wastelling me how much he loved the song, he wanted to cut it I said great! That was well before it was on the charts. Once itgotto numberonefora coupleofweeks, he went, "Waita minute." I thought that was great. His statement had integrity. He asked us to write him something else. I sent him a couple other things. Hemightcutthose. KZ: I would assume the next challenge is presenting Mr. Mister as a live act. RP: It's come a lot easier than we thought it would. We all have performing backgrounds. Another thing that's happened that you should know about is that we have a tune that Steve George, John Lang, and I wrote called "Watching The World" that Chaka Khan just cut with Arif Mardin. He sent the tapes over to Phil Collins in London to put the drums on. I'm dyin' to hear that!




ONMANAGEMENT by Dr. Oren Harari

MANAGING PEOPLE IS TOUGH

(OR, I NEVER PROMISED YOU

A ROSE GARDEN) This week The Gavin Report welcomes a new columnist, Dr. Oren Harari. Dr. Harari is a consultant in the field of management and organizational behavior in San Francisco, as well as Associate Professor of Management at the McLaren College of Business at The University of San Francisco. His bi- weekly column, ON Management, will give us all new insight on the problems and solutions of management.

I've got some good news and some bad news for you.

The bad news is that there is no easy way to manage people well.

The good news is that if you're really committed to working hard at it, you can become a really good people manager. (And if you're good now, you can become even better.)

Now let's backtrack and take it a little slower.

When someone comes up to me at a party and asks: "Okay, so how do you motivate people ? ", or, "Okay, so how do you manage people right ? ", it strikes me that the implication in these questions is that there is somehow, somewhere, one basic easy one -line answer. And if I

would only supply this basic cookbook answer, then managers could simply apply it freely and easily, and all their "people problems" would somehow melt away.

I wish I could tell you it's that easy. It's not,

but I suspect that you know that already.

The fact is, we don't go up to someone at a party and simply ask, "Okay, so how do you do good marketing (or good cashflow budgeting, or good portfolio analysis) ? ",

because we know there are no simple answers. We know that the solutions are complex, demand a lot of thought and study, and are highly dependent on specific circumstances. The same holds true for "people management." In fact, managing human beings is often much

more complicated than managing "markets" or "portfolios," isn't it?

I don't mean to suggest that there are no effective strategies and mindsets in dealing with people. There indeed are, and that's what this column is all about. This column will appear every other week, and each time I hope to share with you one or two specific ideas that have been validated by research and adopted by truly effective and innovative managers. I

believe that you'll find these ideas thought -provoking, exciting, and -best of all- useable. And yes, these ideas really can help you become a better manager of people, and thus a better manager, period. I must, however, warn you that adopting and executing some of these ideas might be some of the most difficult things you'll ever do as a manager. It'll take a lot of work and a lot of committment from you to make these ideas work. But if you do, you'll wind up with a more motivated, committed, innovative, productive, and satisfied group of employees.Andyou'll haveahelluvalotmore fun working with them and they with you.

You'll find that some of my columns will deal with tidbits that may appear counter- intuitive -for example, the idea that the higher one rises in management, the less one needs an office, or that the most effective way of conducting meetings is often to eliminate them. But often my columns will deal with "common sense." Unfortunately, we have repeatedly found that "common sense" ideas are not commonly practiced by managers. We find, in fact, that the most "common sense" ideas are often the least practiced.

How about an example? Okay, suppose I

tell you that one of the best ways to motivate people is to provide them with what they want or need. Now isn't that the most common sense idea you've ever heard; so common sense that it sounds inane?

Well, tell that to Ken Kovach. A few years ago, Kovach asked blue collar and nonmanagerial employees in a wide array of businesses across the U.S. to rank

order what they wanted on the job. The interesting twist is that Kovach then asked these employees' supervisors to predict the rank orders and preferences of their own employees. We would expect that the supervisors would have a pretty good idea of what motivated their own employees, right ? -especially since there were only 10 job factors to rank order in the first place.

Wrong, as Kovach found. Supervisors predicted that their employees would rate "pay" as #1 and "job security" as #2. In

fact, the employees rated "job security" as #4 and "pay" as #5. What did they rate as most important? Well, they rated "interesting work" as #1 (their supervisors predicted it would be #5). They rated "being recognized and appreciated for good work" as #2 (their supervisors predicted it would be #8)! They rated "being in on things" as #3 (their supervisors predicted it would be #10)!

Considering that the supervisors had only 10 choices to consider, their batting average wasn't too hot.Andlcanassureyouthat, perhaps like you, these supervisors were certain that they knew what motivated the employees they interacted with every day. Common sense.

The findings and trends in Kovach's study have been repeated in other experiments with other managers and nonmanagers. Apparently, many managers have very little idea of what really motivates their people. In fact, one study showed that in a majority of cases there was a major discrepancy between supervisor and employee in terms of what each one thought the employee was supposed to be doing and prioritizing! Clearly, somewhere along the line managers have gotten out of touch with their own people.

In my next column, I'll discuss the implications of these studies for you, the practicing manager. We'll talk about what we can do to improve this situation and get motivation and performance back where we want it. Stay tuned.

ALBUMI /ALTEM \ATINE GAVIN ALBUM FRONTLINE

THE FIRM JACKSON BROWNE ROBERT PALMER VIOLENT FEMMES

Lives In The Balance- Jackson Browne

(Asylum)

Politics and love really isn't such a strange dichotomy. Case in point is JACKSON BROWNE's new LP. Directly after "For America" and "Soldier Of Plenty ", two powerful political statements, a lovely song like "In The Shape Of A Heart" is all themore convincing and eloquent. It is the humanity of the lyrics and the issues that causes LIVES to eclipse its predecessor, LAWYERS IN LOVE. This LP certainly isn't all politics, though all eight songs are urgently affected by most of the activism that JB has been involved in before and since his arrest at the Diablo Canyon power plant. There have been volumes and art- icles written about the synthesis of art and day to day struggle and international strife. LIVES IN THE BALANCE is a tangible manifesto minus the usual pontification. It actively elicits the power of rock n roll towards constructive change of consciousness. Plus the album pulls out from the left, no coinci- dence, I'm sure.

Harlem Shuffle " -Rolling Stones

(Rolling Stones)

Ruff and ragged stuff done ROLL- ING STONES style. Obviously this is a faithful cover first cut by BOB & EARL in '63. Even the horn parts are reconstructed on guitars as the bass man pounds. This is the first time the STONES have bolted from the gates, out - of- the -box with a cover as their very first single. Produced by STEVE LILLYWHITE, whose snare

pops rather than explodes, and that's the basic diff between rock and early R &B. The ROLLING STONES go for what's historically worked on the golden age of radio. That's an interesting throwback concept, especially in the light of radio's current fixation with high technology.

The Colour of Spring -Talk Talk (EMI)

Absolute sleeper track of the week goes to "Living In Another World" by TALK TALK. The track does a slow but solid cook. Working in a similar core size as TEARS FOR FEARS, TALK TALK branches out, incorporating lots of spare help, gathering up some progressive integrity as well as potential airplay. "Why Can't This Be Love " -Van Halen

(Warner Bros.)

Just as VAN HALEN made the transition to the deep and wide 12 -45 demographic, SAMMY HAGAR somewhat specializes them back towards an Album Radio following. Yet "Why Can't This Be Love" does cater to Top Forty ears, perhaps the closest HAGAR will come to reaching the same number of people a MADONNA or PRINCE does. Very catchy second time around.

boards, driven guitar work, and twin vocals. The music is well packaged and played to complex extremes with a nice variety of aggressive rock n roll, fusion changes, and a few psycheballads. The focal points are Misters TAGG and BOURGEOIS, but don't over- look guitarist LYLE WORKMAN, who is a player in his own right. No Free Lunch -Green On Red (Mercury)

An interesting phenomenon at work. The Los Angeles psychedelic Nuevo American movement is experiencing an odd ricochet. Rather than start- ing in Los Angeles and spreading through other American metropolitan areas, a strange thing happened. GREEN ON RED, LONG RYDERS, and RAIN PARADE all gathered an enthusiastic following in Britain, signing with European labels that are now releasing the same LPs stateside. CHUCK PROPHET is a tremendous guitarist. He's melodic- - not really flashy --yet still, there's a passionate, driven quality to his playing. The record sounds great (separation,clean), yet it's still spontaneous. Knife Feels Like Justice -Brian Setzer (EMI)

Bourgeois Tagg (Island)

BOURGEOIS TAGG were the latter day stars of the GAVIN SEMINAR, performing their heated material note for note at the legendary FILLMORE AUDITORIUM. This LP translates the electricity of their live sound, which is a mix of key-

Some very hot guitar and airy DON GEHMAN production makes THE KNIFE quite an exciting solo debut. There's a lot of interplay between the fine assemblage of players that makes up SETZER's band, including another great keyboardist, CHUCK LEAVELL (SEA LEVEL, ALLMANS, ROLLING STONES). SETZER has turned the corner as a real band- leader, plus he looks great. His sincerity as a vocalist shines best on the single and "Bobby's Back ".

MY 2C The First Annual GAVIN SEMINAR has received excellent reviews from all across the country.

The response to all our hired speakers was astounding. CHARLES OSGOOD and CHARLES GARFIELD received standing ovations.

Our own CUTTING EDGE program hosted by HOWIE KLEIN flew by, an hour and a half of provocative exchange. The Celebrity Cocktail Party drew almost a thousand folks. The GAVIN AWARDS luncheon, thanks to host GARY OWENS ,saw thirty five awards presented in thirty five minutes... A special congratulations goes out to our ALBUM RADIO winners.

A more deserving bunch I dare you to find...So you missed out this year, is that what's bringing you down? Fear not. Next year's exact date has yet to be announced. It

will be held the Weekend before the GRAMMYS and will be held in SAN FRANCISCO. That gives you over eleven months to plan, budget, or save. To those of you who attended, GAVIN will always remember those who were there first.

.Thanks to all those who called in about the PETE TOWNSHEND interview. Among those is one of our former brothers in radio, JOHN MRVOS who moves from A &R at ARISTA to EMI, still in New York...WKLS- Atlanta is no longer reporting to GAVIN as an Album Indicator. Good riddance...a fam- iliar face is back at KMET as Music Director. She's JUDY McNUTT- FRIEDMAN. KZ

Thanks to those of you who contributed to make our Seminar a worthy and enjoyable event. We're already excited about next years gathering. I'm very interested in your comments and ideas. So please let me know...

The BANGLES is still our #1 album, but it's facing a new threat from the VIOLENT FEMMES. They could very well leap -frog PIL and the BANGLES in a week! The FEMMES potential edge lies in better rotations than PIL, but with slightly fewer stations.

The CHURCH cracks the top ten and are consistently recruiting new stations weekly. STAN RIDGWAY turns in a CERTIFIED effort but faces a battle inside the top ten.

ELVIS COSTELLO is our highest debut and should be CERTIFIED. This is one of his best, but I'm not really getting active response from programmers yet.

THE FABULOUS THUNDER- BIRDS, TOMMY KEENE, and GENE LOVES JEZEBEL are the other debuts. Keep your eyes open for a Gavin Interview with Kim Wilson of the T- Birds.

There is currently a mild recession on the lower end of the chart making this an opportune time for new records to debut.

beyond their "neo- psychedelic" foundation. They've strayed away from the predictable traps into which some of their peers have fallen. Their songs have evolved more into hypnotic ballads rather than cute jangley- guitar oriented riffs. This music will neutralize the most intense mood and would serve as an appropriate surprise within a

high- energy music set, or fit right into calmer musical surround- ings. "Crashing Dream" is just that, very dreamy and makes me feel stoned just by listening!

P.D. NOTEBOOK by Eric Norberg

MORE MAIL

Aletter of encouragement to AM broadcasters, in response to my column of January 10th. Of special significance, perhaps, is that it comes from an FM station -Chip Douglas Mosley, Operations Manager of KSYZ, FM 108, in Grand Island, Nebraska.

"I'd like to add my strongest echoes of agreement (to the column). However, I'd like to add another point A process of re- education is necessary for AM to prosper again. The young audience is as fickle now as it has ever been, and FM has become the 'establishment' band for most of them. The time is right for AM to brink back the trend -setters. It's amazing how many AM programmers are content to watch their audience fall off the right side of the ratings book, when the 12 -34 audience is still ripe for development.

"AM stereo can be a promotional tool to bring audience sampling about. With the cost of a quality AM stereo receiver well within the reach of almost every kid in the country (look what they spend on CD players and blasters), AM radio suddenly can have a 'high tech' image to promote. A smart owner will realize that now is the time to upgrade, and clean up his or her station. Just a major tune -up to the existing audio chain can make a world of difference to the sound ... and don't let the Chief Engineer do it with a transistor radio! Get the best receiver you can find, and make the signal cook -it can! "As you say, program with energy, personality, and consistency, and there's no reason why Top 40 or Adult Contemporary music stations can't make it on AM. Promote, stick it out, and educate!

"And to add to your comments about simulcasting, it's really nothing more than a survival trick. It kept some FM stations afloat in the '60s and early '70s, but if you want a station that will prosper and grow into the late '80s and beyond, the time has come to develop a strong separate identity ... and

do it now, while you can offer sorhething unique to the AM band."

Chip will be at the Gavin Seminar and I

hope I meet him there.

The FCC is mulling over a more interesting concept than just allowing full AM /FM duplication once again (which they seem certain to allow in any event): They are considering allowing an owner to have two AM stations, separated in location but within the same general marketing area, to enhance AM's coverage characteristics. Apparently they are considering that these two stations could be networked. If this concept is approved, it should rearrange AM ownership patterns in interesting ways. The current rule does not permit.5 my /m contours to overlap between commonly - owned AM stations; the FCC would accomplish this by raising the overlap limit to the 2 or perhaps even 5 my /m contour.

Speaking of AM and stereo, I've seen a review of yet another new AM stereo car radio, the Sparkomatic SR 430, written by Malcolm Maxwell and printed in DX NEWS, the magazine of the National Radio Club (1 /27/86 issue). The radio has both FM and AM in stereo (Motorola C -Quam system), plus cassette tape; 20 watts of audio per channel, and an AM sensitivity of 30 uv /m for 20 db signal -to -noise ratio, which is very good. There's a bandwidth control which allows choice of 6 kHz of 12 kHz bandwidth, and the latter would reproduce AM with audio quality exceeding many FM stations, on a strong signal. The unit has a digital tuning readout, a clock, five present frequencies, and a five -band equalizer! Maxwell writes "for a price of $220, I am definitely pleased." I should think so! Sounds like a real bargain, and a showcase for AM stereo. Motorola now estimates that there are three million AM stereo receivers in consumers' possession (mostly in their cars). To mono AM stations: What are you waiting for ??

OUNTRY SUMMARY A big THANK YOU to all of you who joined us here in San Francisco last week for the first Gavin Seminar For Media Professionals. It was a smashing success!! And to those of you who couldn't make it out here last week - start making plans for next year. We're making this an annual event. Of course, one of the high points of the Seminar for us was the Country Workshop/ Breakfast on Saturday morning. DON LANGFORD and CARSON SCHREIBER did a terrific job of moderating our "rap session ", with the results being both informative and thought provoking. We'll have more details about the session in an upcoming Gavin Report. The winners of The Gavin Awards from the Country

Department were: COYOTE CALHOUN - WAMZ- Louisville (Air Talent); JOE LADD - KIK K- Houston (Music Director); LARRY DANIELS - KNIX- Phoenix (Program Director) ; WBAP -FT. WORTH /DALLAS (Station Of The Year); DALE TURNER - RCA (Regional Promotion); and PAUL LOVELACE - CAPITOL (National Promotion). Of course, all the nominees are winners in our eyes. Congratulations to all!!!

REBA McENTIRE's brother PAKE is having quite a bit of success for a relative newcomer. Top ten numbers this week include: WPOC -Baltimore, WCII- Louisville, KIOV -Sioux Falls, KLIK- Jefferson City, KFAT -Corvallis, KRKT- Albany, etc. MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY debuts this week at KYSS, KROW, KMIX, WKCQ,

WCMR, WIL, WAXX, WIL, etc.

The favorite topic of conversation at our Country Breakfast was DWIGHT YOAKAM, and the conversation kept flowing as we took reports this week. TOM SLEEKER at KKIX notes excellent requests, especially from females. R.J.CURTIS at KZLA reports excellent phones for such a new record, and BOB LOUIS at KCLK played DWIGHT on his "Make It Or Break It" program and received all positives. A couple of album cuts to check out. JESSE LEE at KORD- Tri -Cities is getting good response to DAN SEALS' "Tobacco Road ", and ANDY GALLO at WTAW -Bryan suggests you check out "Got A New Heartache" on RICKY SKAGGS "Live In London" LP.

And the winner is ' What a great Seminar, thanks to all of you who made it happen! I don't know if I'll éver stop telling you how much I appreciate your support and praise. I do know it wasn't easy for many of you to get out here. From all the feedback I've been getting on the phones this week, and after all the encouragement we've been receiving from all formats to do it again next year, I can safely tell you that plans are in the works to have a repeat performance. It'll be even better because we'll have 11 -12 months to plan it and because so many

of you have volunteered your time to participate en the Advisory Board to plan next year's. And I think the greatest part of all is that so many of you that were not there this year are so excited about attending next year due to all the great things you've heard! That, to me, is the ultimate of compliments. Tom Joyner was awarded the Air Talent of the Year, and Terri Avery and Lee Michaels were there to accept and fight over his plaque! Speaking of Lee, fie was named Program Director of the Year, and Terri Avery won Music Director.

Station of the Year went to WRKS /FM in New York and Barry Mayo went up to accept the award, making a gracious speech crediting Tony Q and Fred Suggs as the ones who deserve the award, and saying he's taking the award back to them. Barry is one classy gentleman! And the next morning he was in rare form at the -Urban Contemporary session - one of the most enter- taining and informative speakers I've heard in a long time. As was Marvin Robinson from KSOL /FM. 'Be ready for more next year! Betty

0101 -FM Program Director, Brian Charette (B.C. In The Morning) goes through some of the million coupons.

CALL IN THE NATIONAL GUARD When 0101 (WQPO) in Harrisonburg, VA decided to do a coupon promotion called "BC In The Morning," they had no idea they would have to call in the National Guard. They printed "coupons," according to P.D. Brian Charette (BC in the morning), and put them in each day's local newspaper. Listeners were told to clip the coupons and wait for details. When the station began collecting them for prizes such as furniture, cash, appliances and a live "BC In The Morning Show" from the winner's home, contestants submitted 1,465,000 coupons! Because they expected about 5,000 to be returned and received over a million, Brian says, "... before we challenge our listeners to collect something again, we'll call in the National Guard to help count!"

ROCK AND ROLL ALERT The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation is looking for a home, and many cities, including Cleveland, Memphis, Chicago, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, have made proposals to have the site in their respective cities. WMMR in Philadelphia has joined forces with the mayor's office and the city to bring the Hall of Fame to Philadelphia. WMMR has established a "RockAnd Roll Hall Of Fame" hotline. Each call to the

hotline registers a vote of support to bring the Hall to Philadelphia. Proceeds from the 500 telephone charge will benefit the Hall if it ends up in Philadelphia, and if

Philadelphia is not selected, the money will benefit Philadelphia's homeless.

COUNTRY MUSIC MONTHS CLASSICS

WXYQ /AM- Stevens Point, WI,

celebrated Country Music Month by giving their listeners the chance to win $1010 cash in the "Country Classics" contest. All they had to do was stop by sponsor locations for an entry form on which they listed their all -time favorite country songs. A random drawing at the end of the month determined the winner. Dan Olsen, Asst. P.D. and Music Director, says the promotion was successful as well as useful. "lt was a low -cost, high - interest promotion that also proved quite profitable. And we'll tabulate the entries for music research purposes, demographics and locale," says Dan. He adds that once the results are in, the station will conduct a countdown -type program as yet another station special event

TRIPS, TRIPS AND MORE TRIPS KXGO in Eureka /Arcata, CA, has done their share in giving away vacations to their listeners. In the last 8 months, they have given away 4 vacations, a trip to Mardi Gras, Disney World, New Orleans and Hawaii. Their latest one is a trip to the Tropics. Listeners had to write in 25 words or less why they would like to go to Hawaii. That's all they had to do to win! Jim Nelly III writes this one up as one of their best yet.

the GAVIN REPORT DAVE SHOLIN'S ß0N FELL'S Personal Picks - SINGLES Personal Picks - ALBUMS THE ROLLING STONES - Harlem Shuffle (Rolling

Stones). Hard to fathom it was twenty -two years ago when Mick and the boys set out to conquer the states...and during that same time Bob and Earl had this song high on the charts. The award for musical taste goes to whoever searched the closet of oldies and selected this gem. Perfect for The Stones!

MIAMI SOUND MACHINE - Bad Boy (Epic) Can this really be the same group that asked us to ""Do The Conga "? Based on hearing this ultra commercial pop dance track, I'd say this machine is well -oiled and one that you can expect to be in for the long haul.

GREG KIHN - Love And Rock and Roll (EMI America) There are some songs you just know are going to sound great when they hit the air. Greg has that remarkable instinct of knowing how to create those radio tunes. This is one of his best ever and...it's under three minutes as an extra added bonus.

VAN HALEN - Why Can't This Be Love (Warner Bros.) Welcome Van Hagar! Impressive debut for Sammy Hagar as replacement for David Lee Roth as lead vocalist for one of the hotter bands on the planet Delivers a powerful melody line without sacrificing the hard edge that their legion of Rock 'n' Roll loyalists expect.

RICKY NELSON - You Know What I Mean (MCA) Prior to his untimely passing, Rick was very excited about his recent sessions in the studio. I heard this last September when he performed it on the Fats Domino tour and couldn't get it out of my mind. Ricky's roots are in evidence here, aided by the legendary Jordanaires on background vocals and it couldn't have come out any better. A lasting tribute to one of the greatest rock 'n' roll talents of all time.

Next J/I2éek

Jackson Browne "Lives In The Balance" (Asylum) Lyrically the album is about as subtle as a cold

shower. As important as his lyric is, I don't think people listen to his words as much, as they appreciate his melodies and rhythms. Browne is a social poet whc occasionally scores with a ditty. But he's classic folk (a la Dylan, Peter, Paul & Mary, & Joan Baez) when you read from the lyric sheet. The current vogue of wrapping one's self in the flag has its place and it's proven to be a binding factor in our lifestyle. But Jackson was born in the USA too and he sees the scales of liberty imbalanced, tipped in favor of the greedy, the insensitive and the warmonger. "Lives In The Balance" is an album of war. - guerilla, global and domestic. It's an album of dreams shattered, and unfulfilled. It's an album of love for the helpless the leaderless and the innocent. The two lead tracks are obvious plays: FOR AMERICA and LAWLESS AVENUES. The title track, LIVES IN THE BALANCE is classic JB, but I can't get IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART out of my mind. Could be his finest song of this decade. This album is targetted for society's couch potatoes who've content themselves to watching the world pass them by.
